An Affair To Remember Obama? Who is Vera Baker? Why Doesn’t Michelle Like Her?
Some people in Chicago claim she was Obama’s Finance Director for his 2004 Senate campaign. FEC Senate campaign records show she was paid a pretty penny as “Finance Director”.
However, people familiar with Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign say Claire Serdiuk was Obama’s Finance Director. Looking through everything we can see online for that 2004 campaign, Claire Serdiuk is consistently listed as the Finance Director – because that’s what she was.
There’s no mention of Vera Baker:but Vera Baker was paid as the “Finance Director” too.
And then, suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to New York.
Right around the time Michelle Obama got incredibly angry about something. We know it was hard to tell, because Michelle’s angry about something on a good day:but this was EXTRA angry.
And then, even more suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to the island of Martinique, where she remains.
We hear it’s lovely there. They get lots of sunshine on Sundays. Paradise. A lovely place to read between the lines and ask lots of questions. All reporters should go there and feel inspired.
Does anyone else get the impression the media doesn’t want to report on people like Vera Baker until after the election ” and that both the Clinton and McCain campaigns have been unable to force them to do otherwise? Do you ever get the feeling reporters sit around, perhaps on top of piles of stories they choose not to report, asking each other, “You don’t really want McCain to win, do you?”.
Of course they don’t.
The piles make better chairs than stories. “We’re all so comfy!”
That’s why you’ve never heard of Vera Baker:and most likely won’t in the next three weeks.
- Did Barack Obama Have An Affair?
- The Daily Mail is running a story about an ex-Obama staffer who was allegedly “banished” to the Caribbean by an angry Michelle Obama:. Barack Obama is the target of a shadowy smear campaign designed to derail his bid for the US …
Report: Obama’s Girlfriend Banished to Caribbean by Angry Michelle
Excerpt: I agree with Andrew Sullivan: Full disclosure. Let’s see this banished staffer’s work records, pay stubs, and travel schedules. I’m a journalist. It’s my duty to demand these answers. And I’ll never stop
POLITICS: Obama Rumor Mill
Excerpt: If you go out on the web you will find with Barack Obama, as with any national political figure, a broad spectrum of charges ranging from the indisputably true to the undeniably crackpot, and plenty in between.
The Obama Girlfriend Story: It’s Real
Excerpt: I put that link up as mostly just a bit of baiting of Andrew Sullivan. I didn’t expect much to come from it. Having now spoken to someone tracking the story, I can say: 1) It’s not just a silly
The [Racist] Story Smear About Obama’s Exiled Girlfriend
Excerpt: Jammie Wearing Fool has the background.
Despite a skeptical Daily Mail, Ace decrees it “real” and gives us a glimpse of shoes yet to drop, including:
The story has a Fred Baron.
(Baron was the Edwards staffer who payed Rielle Hunter to stay quiet and out of sight, thus elevating the affair from simple sleaze to genuine corruption.)
- today’s rumor
- shadowy photo of Obama’s proported girlfriend. Barack Obama is the target of a shadowy smear campaign designed to derail his bid for the US Presidency by falsely claiming he had a close friendship with an attractive African-American
A Letter to a Friend Oddly, my best friend was captured by the Obama cult late last year. I’ve been working on him ever since, but he refuses to budge or offer a plausible reason for why he has – out of the blue – registered as a Democrat and fully-consumed
Obama: Adultery You Can Believe In
We decided to have a little fun Saturday night by posting this item on an alleged girlfriend of Barack Obama being exiled to the Caribbean by the gracious and charming Michelle Obama.
Well, it sure sounds as if there’s a whole lot more than we thought originally.
I put that link up as mostly just a bit of baiting of Andrew Sullivan. I didn’t expect much to come from it.
Having now spoken to someone tracking the story, I can say:
1) It’s not just a silly little rumor.
2) It will break in some form shortly. The question is how prestigious an outlet breaks it. (PS, at best, it won’t be that prestigious, at least at first, but there’s a lot here so when someone finally touches, there is a good chance of an Edwards-like “Oh yeah, we were working on that too” pile-on.) Fire is being held as those who know the story try to get someone of import to break it; if they pass, it will be flooded out through secondary channels.
3) The story has a Fred Baron. Not The Fred Baron. But actually– an even better Fred Baron. The woman is “working” in the Caribbean drawing a salary from…. uhhh… let’s say from someone who is a big, shiny part of the dirty Chicago political machine. And it makes no sense that she’s doing her supposed “job,” for which she seems unqualified anyway, in the Caribbean, of all places. It’s unclear how she could possibly do this job at all, never mind from the Caribbean. And she’s been there for at least a year. (At least.) This isn’t some sabbatical or few months’ of “work” on an island paradise.
4) This woman was a major, big-time fundraiser. She raised x millions of dollars for various Democratic interests (connected to Obama) and then opened her own shop in DC. Since she was (as any fundraiser does) getting a cut of the take, this was a lucrative job. But she, for reasons unfathomable, suddenly shut the shop down and decamped to a little Caribbean island. And somewhere along the line got a “job” from her own Fred Baron. Which conveniently put her far away from Obama, Michelle, and the media.
5) Within hours of the Daily Mail article breaking, she called the Illinois hq of the Obama campaign. They wouldn’t talk to her.
Hmm. How long until we hear about smears?
Read the rest at Ace.
Someone wants to know: Who is Vera Baker?

Vera has a website
Previously, she served as the National Finance Director on Senator Barack Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign. She also served as the Deputy Political Director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Update: Ace scuttled his original link since he didn’t want the name printed there if you’re wondering where it went.
Update: Vera’s website has been yanked. Hmm.

Who is Vera Baker and why did she go to Martinque. Is she the link to the Obama campaign and the fictitious donors found in the obama finance records.
Why did here web site disapare yesterday when the posters of Freerepublic outed here web site and the posibility of her being tied to a credit card money factory for obama in Martinque. Was she Barack’s love interest or just a Fundraiser of soft money. She has ties and history raising funds for Barack and for the Congressional Black Caucus.

Fictitious Donors Found in Obama Finance Records
By Michael Luo and Griff Palmer, New York Times, October 10, 2008
10 Oct 2008 // Last December, someone using the name “Test Person,”from “Some Place, UT,”made a series of contributions, the largest being $764, to Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign totaling $2,410.07.
Someone identifying himself as “Jockim Alberton,”from 1581 Leroy Avenue in Wilmington, Del., began giving to Mr. Obama last November, contributing $10 and $25 at a time for a total of $445 through the end of February.
The only problem? There is no Leroy Avenue in Wilmington. And Jockim Alberton, who listed his employer and occupation as “Fdsa Fdsa,”does not show up in a search of public records.
An analysis of campaign finance records by The New York Times this week found nearly 3,000 donations to Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee, from more than a dozen people with apparently fictitious donor information. The contributions represent a tiny fraction of the record $450 million Mr. Obama has raised. But the questionable donations ” some donors were listed simply with gibberish for their names ” raise concerns about whether the Obama campaign is adequately vetting its unprecedented flood of donors.
It is unclear why someone making a political donation would want to enter a false name. Some perhaps did it for privacy reasons. Another, more ominous possibility, of course, is fraud, perhaps in order to donate beyond the maximum limits.

HOME SWEET HOME. Doug Thornell says his experience as former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean’s traveling secretary during the Democratic presidential campaign was “thrilling,” but he’s happy to be back in Washington. “It’s nice to get to sleep in the same bed every night now,” says the Silver Spring, Md., native, who returned to D.C. in mid-March after a vacation in California. Thornell just started his new job as a deputy political director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
He replaced Vera Baker, who is now the national finance director for Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama’s Democratic U.S. Senate campaign.
Thornell shares the deputy political director title with colleague Jamie Linski, former assistant political director at the DSCC, who was promoted to the deputy slot.
And here is some additional background information on Vera Baker:
African American professionals can build prosperous careers in the capital city, especially those hoping to play a role in national politics. “There’s a mentality here that there’s enough for everyone; you’re not competing for what feels like a limited number of opportunities,” says 29-year-old Muthoni Wambu.
Like most Washingtonians, Wambu is a transplant. She left New York City’s Upper West Side to study journalism at Howard University and then networked her way into a political fundraising job with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
This was a new aspect of politics for Wambu, who soon discovered that it “brought together my strengths in a way that I’d never anticipated.”
In 2000, Wambu and Vera Baker, another Howard alum, started Baker-Wambu & Associates.
The firm has raised over $3 million for the campaigns of members of Congress and other politicians.
“Washington is the best place for our firm to blossom and grow, and one of the only cities where two 24-year-old African American women [could have built a successful business] with pennies and a dream,” she says.
October 14, 2008 - 08:42 AM on October 14th, 2008
Who is Vera Baker and why did she go to Martinique. Is she the link to the Obama campaign and the fictitious donors found in the Obama finance records? Did she ever work with Tony Rezko helping Obama raise fund when he ran for his state offices. Did she and Rezko raise or move funds for his US Senate Run!
These are all viable questions that need to be answered. Rezko starts singing to Fitzgerald and Sunday the Cape Caribbean web site vanishes in to sunset as we started chatting about her on Free Republic with a lead from HillBuzz.
There are questions to be asked and answered. Why did here web site disappear yesterday when the posters of Free republic outted her web site and the possibility of her being tied to a credit card money factory for Obama in Martinique.
Was she Barack’s love interest or just a Fundraiser bundler of soft money? She has ties and history raising funds for Barack and for the Congressional Black Caucus.
Why did the DNC allow the campaign to move from DNC HQ in DC to Chicago where David Axlerod and his minions could hide and control the dirty games that possibly have taken place with illegal contributions for across the world like the $35,000 from the Edwan Brothers in Ga. No that’s not Georgia but Gaza Strip in the Middle East. But we all know that Barack is a friend of Israel and that the Brother’s got carried away in the moment of donating $35,000 to Obama.
I hope that somebody has the sense to check bank accounts, credit card records and transaction prior to the election as this really reeks of money laundering. The FEC and other Government agencies need to make this a top issue before the election.
Did some of this Laundered money go to Acorn. Can an audit of Acorns sources of funds be tracked to domestic and foreign bank accounts? We already know that Obama’s Campaign gave acorn more then 800,000 for voter registration. Wanna bet its bigger dollars from offshore accounts?
So yes this is a smoking gun! Does it involve Rezko ,Axlerod and Obama I bet it does. Does the Main Street Media pick it up! Probably not as we are just bloggers and speculators of what occurred and don’t have any power to do much about it unless we spread the word to our friends and fellow bloggers on the net. Please make your voices heard on the net.
Maybe the recent news of Rezko visiting US Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald’s office, along with his lawyers is a good sign that something big might be happening and that Rezko is singing the tune.
(In 2005, the Obamas paid $1.65 million for their home near the University of Chicago. The sellers wanted a parcel they owned next door to sell on the same day, and Rezko’s wife, Rita, was the buyer. At the request of the Obamas, Mrs. Rezko later sold them a three-metre strip of land to enlarge their lot. They paid $104,500.
The deal took place while Rezko was under investigation and when details of the cozy relationship surfaced, Obama said it was a “bonehead” error to have asked for the additional land because it looked like he was getting a favor.
“I regret it,” Obama said at the time. “I’m going to make sure that from this point on I don’t even come close to the line.” )

FEC Senate Campaign records show in 2004 Vera Baker was Obama’s FINANCE DIRECTOR !! For his 2004 Senate Campaign, and made a good buck doing so.
BUT…. So was CLAIRE SERDIUK, who was formally listed at the
Finance Director on Obama’s campaign books.
Vera is listed as working for altacg.com
Her Linkedin
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/0/459/a61
Claire’s Facebook
http://en-gb.facebook.com/people/Claire_J_Serdiuk/1375257220
This is the most found out, via Vera’s association in partnership with another African American woman MUTHONI WAMBU, who now works for Guess Who!? None other than BIDEN as his Deputy Political Director. She was
Former AFL-CIO PAC Coordinator. In 2000 Wambu joined with Vera Baker to form Baker Wambu & Associates, a political fund-raising firm. Worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee during the 2000 and 1998 cycles. Bachelor’s degree in journalism from Howard University, 1997. From New York City.
And here is some additional background information on Vera Baker and Wambu:
African American professionals can build prosperous careers in the capital city, especially those hoping to play a role in national politics. “There’s a mentality here that there’s enough for everyone; you’re not competing for what feels like a limited number of opportunities,” says 29-year-old Muthoni Wambu.

Want to know How Obama met Vera Baker?
From HillBuzz
There’s something incredibly interesting in the Mills College yearbook from 1996 or 1997
Cryptic clue
Anyone in California who can head over to the library at Mills College will find something very interesting in the Mills College yearbook from 1996 or 1997.
All this talk of plumbers lately made us think about butchers, BAKERS and candlestick makers too.
Who was the other guy, or gal, in that tub?
Oh yah…baker.
A rub-a-dub-dub!
Wonder if there are photos of any bakers in those Mills College yearbooks.
In Martinique, they’ve got a baker or two, from what we hear. No pictures though.
THOSE are all in California. San Francisco area. At this address:

This could be big breaking news as the Money laundering industry is alive and well in Martinique.

Wonder why? An article on Mortgage fraud in Florida… ???
ACORN member Carolyn Patmon met with Florida Governor Charlie Crist to hand deliver a letter from consumer groups urging the Governor to take action on foreclosures before the end of this year’s legislative session. Governor Crist spoke with Carolyn about the predatory loan that has trapped her into a failed mortgage and the need for the state to address the foreclosure crisis. The Governor assured ACORN that he was examining the issue closely. ACORN is urging the state to pass legislation that would ban abusive practices in subprime loans such as prepayment penalties, no-doc loans, and kickbacks to brokers.

It was not an isolated case.”
